I Told Ya So!!!

I have to brag a bit..Not too terribly much..But I gotta say: Neener Neener Neener! I knew David Cook would win American Idol! HAHA I have to admit though, when David Archuleta sang his heart out on the last performance night, I was a bit worried..I was almost angry..lol He sounded SO GREAT..I am such a huge DC fan that I felt that I was cheating on him by enjoying David Archuleta..Gotta give the boy PROPS!!! I have a feeling DA will have NO PROBLEM making a name for himself after American Idol.. I have to take this moment and congratulate David Cook on a job well done!

MY top 5 would have looked a little different, though..It would have been DA and DC but it would have also had Sayeesha Mercado, Michael Johns and Carly Smithson..My top 3 would have been DA,DC and Carly Smithson..I believe she had the best voice in the competition..Something keeps holding her back..I cant put my finger on it..Hubby thinks it is the tatoos..She is absolutely GORGEOUS when she gets fixed up but the tatoos DO tend to distract..When she covers them, she is flawless.. Maybe hubby is right.. She could DEFINATELY give Amy Lee of Evanescence a run for her money, vocally..Maybe if she took that heavier, edgier music route, she wouldnt have any problems..She definately has the voice of an American Idol, but thats not all the American Idol is..I was sad she was sent home..I was having flashbacks of Chris Daughtry.. LOL So, I was a little scared when she was sent home the week after Michael Johns was sent home..I was SO WORRIED DC was next! I am SO GLAD America FINALLY got it right, this season!

American Idol Top 12!

I gotta say..The women didnt impress me this week..That is mostly the reason you dont see a post about the women..That and the fact that since I have been on the recovery track after being sick, I just didnt have time to write something up.. haha..My standout was Carly from Ireland..She always stands out to me though..And not just because she has a hitious tatoo..I wish she could take it back because it is very distracting when she is singing..She needs to cover it up..She is VERY BEAUTIFUL..Especially when she has her hair done and make up fixed..ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS and marketable..But that unsightly tatoo..UUGGHH..I guess thats what happens when you are married to a man that owns a tatoo shop..I have just never been one for tatoo's PERIOD.. Especially on women.. Just my opinion here..I just dont see the point in using your body as a canvas..But VOCALLY this chick has got it going on and has it to make it BIG..She can hit every note that Celine Dion can hit..I wish she would have a little more confidence and not cut off notes and instead, HOLD them when she hits them.. She will learn..

Other standouts were because they were HORRIBLE..Tyler, my middle son said I dont know what horrible is..I said "Tyler, YOU are HORRIBLE at singing..A great MUSICIAN but you couldnt sing to save your life" He cant..Tyler is so bad that they could make an entire show on American Idol about him.. HE could be the one they show that THINKS they sing great and it is BAD..Im not kidding.. One day, I will try to catch him singing and put it on here.. Beleive me, you will never be the same again.. :) The "horrible" performances IMO were from Kady Malloy ( what exactly was she singing?) and that other chick that looks like her that sang JOURNEY'S FAITHFULLY.. I think her perfoemance was OK.. but she could have done SO MUCH MORE with the ending..I am sure Randy was thinking the same..

Anyway, enough of my rants..I think the top 12 is good..Has a good range of different types of music, which makes for fun watching..I just hope Amanda Overmeyer learns some new dance moves ASAP.. She does the same move.. She reminds me of Elvis.. HAHA I quite like her for some reason but I think she would have kicked butt on ROCK STAR instead..She has a future, Im sure..Im a little sad that Danny Noriega didnt make it, but not surprised..I loved how he and Ramiele hit it off.. That poor girl was DEVASTATED last night when they said he was going home.. I got one more issue..Asia'h Epperson should have stayed.. She sounded PERFECT in her last song.. She hit every note and looked so adorable.. She has grace and poise and was such a lady..I know she will go far too.. She has one heck of a voice, different..But different is what makes it in the music business!

American Idol Boys Night!

I will say this : David Archuleta is AMAZING! I will also say this: Danny Noriega: Is he a boy or a girl? I am confused! He looks like he could be Jessica Alba's long lost brother or sister? Very weird! He can be really good when he wants to..But sometimes hes just plain ol weird! He can work the cat walk like Tyra Banks and he can sing but he just weirds me out!

Back to David..He is awesome! He did a great job with the Phil Collins song "Another Day In Paradise"..I think he made it hiw own.. Lets face it.. I am a fan of his!!

Luke Menard..Oh Luke, looks like its the end of the road.. You are lucky to have made it this far in the competition..Your sound is just NOT THERE..Too high and not in the right places.. When you sing, you make me NERVOUS and not in a good way.. SERIOUSLY..

Poor David Hernandez.. He did a great job with the Celine Dion/Meatloaf song" Its All Coming Back To Me Now" but that doesnt compare to the rumors all over the internet about his past of being a male stripper in a gay bar..I REALLY like this guy.. My hubby and I both agree he never gets the props he deserves..He has an amazing voice..He has an "Elliot Yamin" vibe when he sings..He doesnt have the ummphh that Elliot had though..

David Cook did an amazing job with Lionel Richie's "Hello".. I liked how Randy told him he did an "emo" version of it.. haha..Im not so sure about the EMO part but it was great, nonetheless..He sure knows how to look just right in the camera, just like Constantine.. He also has a Chris Daughtry vibe to him when he sings too..And as you know, I am ALL ABOUT some Chris Daughtry! Im a fan of him, too! David Cook too.. haha

Aussie singer Michael Johns did a great rendition of Simple Minds "Dont You Forget About Me".. I felt like I was back in 1985! He sounded great..I dont know if everyone caught this but Randy made a comment about how he sounded like Michael Hutchence, as in he sounded just like he sounded when INXS recorded that song.. It wasnt INXS, it was Simple Minds!!!! I am sure it was a mistake.. lol Beleive me, I was the major INXS fan! Also a MAJOR Michael Johns fan!

Jason Castro did a good rendition of "Hallelujah", a different song choice.. This oy is not the typical singer, though..He has the dreads to prove it.. He is very pretty to look at..

Lastly, Chikezie? Thats all I gotta say.. Ok.. Ill give him some props.. Boy can sing when he has to hit the notes..But he picked a WHITNEY HOUSTON song.. GOOOOD LAAWWWD!

I think the two that will go SHOULD be Luke Menard and Chikezie..But I think possibly Chikezie will stay and Danny Noriega will stay..Who knows.. I guess we will find out Thursday night!
